Abstract

The diagnosis of sacral stress fractures in geriatrics is often neglected because of lumbar pains and referred pains. We report regarding a 67-year-old woman who complained of chronic back pain and right hip pain that persisted despite analgesic therapy. Flexion-abduction-external-rotation (FABER), Gaenslen's, and Scour test were positive on the right side of the patient's examination, but squish test was not. The patient's neurologic examination was normal. Although computed tomography and X-rays of the hip and lumbosacral areas revealed no obvious pathology, sacral stress fracture was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging, which was performed because of the patient's chronic pain. This report aimed to draw attention to low back and hip pains in geriatrics because of probable sacral stress fractures and to emphasize on the importance of available radiological modalities for an accurate diagnosis.

Özet

Geriatri yaş döneminde görülen sakral stres kırıkları bel ağrıları ve yansıyan ağrılar nedeniyletanıda ihmal edilen karmaşık bir durum olarak görülür. Bu çalışmada, bu dönemde bel ve sağ kalçaağrısı olup analjezik tedavisi ile ağrısı geçmeyen 67 yaşında kadın hasta değerlendirildi. Hastanınyapılan muayenesinde fleksiyon-abdüksiyon eksternal rotasyon (FABER), Gaenslen, ve Scour testisağda pozitif; fakat squish testi negatif değerlendirildi. Hastanın nörolojik muayenesi normalolarak değerlendirildi. Çekilen lumbosakral ve kalça röntgenleri ve Bilgisayarlı Tomografisinde (BT)belirgin patoloji izlenmedi. Hastanın ağrılarının devam etmesi sonucu çekilen Manyetik RezonansGörüntülerinin (MRG) incelenmesi sonucunda sakral stres kırığı teşhisi kondu. Bu çalışmanın amacı,geriatrik dönemdeki bel ve kalça ağrısının dikkate alınması gerektiği ve sakral stres kırıklarınınolabileceğine dikkat çekmek ve kesin tanı açısından radyolojik bütün modalitelerin kullanılmasıgerekliliğinin vurgulanmasıdır.
